California - Northern

Wow, lovely display of eggs. Because of the scattered nature of the photo, I can't really count them. How many hens do you have? There'd have to be at least thirty girls, not counting youngsters. I thought you were limited to six......

If I was not as good at chicken math, then I likely would have 30 hens....Chicken math says I have 6 though.....Yea I have 6!
 
I don't think you want them to take on either one. Racoons can really tear up a dog and possums, while less likely to challeng a dog, can do a lot of damage too. Hopefully just their presence will keep the predator at bay.
That's definitely what I am going for. The mutt has some prey drive issues with birds, but so far not with cats or other animals, and the beagles don't give a crap who or what wanders through their territory unless they're offering food. Raccoons are satan incarnate, I wouldn't want my dogs fighting one, but I have not seen any signs of them recently (knock on wood). This time of year, the irrigation ditches from the rice fields are packed with crawdads so they usually gorge there and don't bother houses much.
